MIDGE Alert!
Not sure about any of you, but I have midge bites all over! Here are a few pointers that you might want to take into consideration to avoid bites :(
1. avoid wearing perfumes to class
2. wear long sleeves and long trousers
3. dab citronella and/or lavender oil on your clothing - avoid skin contact
4. wear a hat
5. spray your clothing with a good commercial repellant avoiding your eyes and any open wounds
6. eat vegemite before a class!
7. be aware the midges are more active at dusk - so those of you in the later sessions should come prepared!

For more info (and confirmation that eating Vegemite helps, go to)

This weather has been so inspiring and motivating!! All classes are filling up fast and we now have an 8pm session starting from Monday 3rd 2010. For all groups, our meeting place is the same area, but please arrive a little earlier than usual as we will be meeting then jogging to another place to add a bit of variety to the classes. Please do not bring valuables with you as there will be no holding place for these items, just your mats and drinks!

**Please note change to payment options - Paypal is temporarily unavailable - cash payments will be accepted upon arrival**




FITT Fact of the week
While post-workout meals should have quick high glycemic index carbs and quickly digested proteins, all of your other meals throughout the day should be comprised of low glycemic index, slowly digested carbs and slow release proteins.
Another great thing about post-workout meals is that you can satisfy even the worst sweet tooth, since this is the one time of the day where you can get away with eating extra sugars without adding to your gut. Instead, it all goes straight to the muscles! Enjoy!FACT.

Sexy FITT Abs Exercise

1. Start by placing yourself on your hands and knees.
2. Slowly raise your opposite arm and opposite leg and extend them out away from the body.
3. Return to the starting position and repeat with the other side.
4. Always keep this movement slow and controlled.
Core exercises workout tips:This exercise is very important for core stability, low back strength, and when performed with arm coming out at an angle instead of forward it also corrects forward shoulder posture and improves range of motion with all ab exercises
